Singapore is Fantastic!
 
I arrived in Singapore yesterday for the first time. Although the climate is the same, it is totally different than the rest of Southeast Asia. It is clean & upscale, kind of like Beverly Hills if it was the size of NYC.

I'm playing in a pool tournament here. I was doing fine until I ran into the 19 & Under Singapore National Champion. I finished the day in the top third out of 64 and I play again tomorrow.

Tonight I'll check out the night-life. One of our entourage lived her for 9 years, so he knows all of the wrong places (that's what I like.)

I wish I had more time to do something other than play pool. I'll make another trip here in the future (probably with Mom: "Babe Magnet").

Yep, S'Pore has a lot of pluses, especially food. There's some outstanding eating to be had in S'Pore.
Best of luck potting those balls.

Glad you are enjoying it, Brad. I always enjoy a few days in Singapore. It doesn't sound like you'll have a lot of time to explore the city, but do check out some of the great food.

I finished 9th - 16th in the tournament. I'd like to do some sight seeing, but its been raining all the time. The night life is great, but very expensive.
